VMWare Fusion v2/CD-ROM

2010-03-27 Thread Stuart Breden


I'm just getting to know Windows XP with VMWare Fusion v2.  I like the  
concept with VMWare Fusion v2.


One thing I've noticed is that when Fusion is running CD-ROM's do not  
show in OS 10.6.  Not in the side bar or even on the desktop.


I've looked at the preference in Finder and Fusion but there does not  
appear to anything.


Any suggestions?

Hi Stuart,

If the virtual machine has control of the CD, it will not show up in the Finder.

There is a little CD icon on the bottom right of the VM ware window, if you 
right mouse click there and say disconnect the CD will show up in Mac. You can 
configure the preferences so they don't automatically mount in VMWare.
